Tara Shoes is no longer in production. We still have a nice selection of these shoes, but, when they're gone, they are gone. We are producing our own line, Sueños, which is meant to cater to the Tara girl.

Most Tara Shoes were made in Montevideo, Uruguay, in a small, family-run factory. They were, as most of our shoes, made the old-fashioned way, by hand. All of their lasts, or forms, for these shoes were also hand made. They were made to be generous vertically in the toe box, giving more room for the toes. Each heel height has it’s own last. Some of the sizing increments vary between lasts. This is especially so in the 2” heel lasts, most specifically 2“ platforms. For instance, if you take a size 9 in the 3” heel version of a platform shoe, in the 2" heel, you may take an unbelievable 7 1/2 or 8, so you can see how important it is to check the footbed measurements. So, be sure to consult the shoe measurement chart tab located on each shoe detail page. This variance is not present in all shoe sizes. Also, be sure to check the overhead view for form or taper of the footbed and adjust according to your foot shape.

These Tara Shoes were made in a small factory in Buenos Aires. They have a different fit than the other Tara Shoes. Also, they do not have true half sizing. A size 7 1/2, for instance, is a size 7 shoe, sole, heel cage, heel, with a size 8 pattern on the toebox, giving it more room and making it a bit wider. So, really, a size 7 1/2 is in fact a size 7W.

Platforms

Several of Tara Shoes are also available with platforms. These platforms are created with cork. They also have the comfy memory foam lining. Initially, they are comfortable and a little flexible. But, as you wear them, they conform to the shape of your foot and become very flexible and the ultimate in comfort. Many women swear by them. They are also good for beginners, as the cork platform creates a stable surface and you won’t wobble so much. The cons to them is that the feel of the floor is slightly compromised. They are fabulous for workshops and long festival weekends, as well as a shopping trip to the mall.

The platform shoes have a higher heel, but this is because of the basic structure of a shoe. If you put a 1/2“ platform on the toe box, you must raise the heel for it to be in balance. For instance, La Luna is available in both regular and platform. The regular version has a 3” heel. The platform version has a 3 1/2” heel, but they are made on the same last and have the exact same angle of the foot. So, with a platform, a 3 1/2” heel feels just like a 3” heel, only with a platform.
